            <code class="function">glPointSize</code> specifies the rasterized diameter of points. If point size mode
            is disabled (see <a class="citerefentry" href="glEnable"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glEnable</span></span></a> with parameter
            <code class="constant">GL_PROGRAM_POINT_SIZE</code>), this value will be used to rasterize points. Otherwise,
            the value written to the shading language built-in variable <code class="code">gl_PointSize</code> will be used.

            The point size specified by <code class="function">glPointSize</code> is always returned when
            <code class="constant">GL_POINT_SIZE</code> is queried.  Clamping and rounding for points have no effect on the specified value.

            <code class="constant">GL_INVALID_VALUE</code> is generated if <em class="parameter"><code>size</code></em> is less than or equal to 0.
